Are you mowing the leaves with a push mower or a regular, loud one? How many passes does it take to get them small? Are any leaves poisonous to chickens? I have pin oak, maple, ginko and yew. And a lot of needles (pine and doug fir) that I'm sure will get in there too. Great idea! Are you mowing the leaves with a push mower or a regular, loud one?

I've got 30+ massive oaks. When do you want to come get the leaves? In the fall we are astonished at how much tissue these babies drop -- and then they proceed to make it all again and push it out in the spring! Oh my goodness gals. I’ve got 30+ massive oaks.

I pull out all the plants, trim bushes, etc then mow away! They break down so much faster. I throw some to the chickens. They love their greens in small sizes.

Unfortunately, I live far from any curbside pickup, so I have to depend on my mom to grab them in town, then I pick them up when I go to visit. I could use hundreds of bags, but usually only end up with about 30. :-) I’m a huge fan of stealing bags of leaves off the curb in the fall.
